Applauds judge for setting high bail in drug arrest

I applaud the judge in the two recent drug cases in Potsdam involving LSD and cocaine for putting the boys in jail with a high bail. It is far too often I am seeing kids being released with no bail set and never seeing any jail time such as the kid that was arrested for stealing the ATM machine. What kind of deterrent it this? Let’s start putting pressure on the court system and DA to put these people in jail because maybe that would make a kid think twice about bringing drugs into our community and stealing from others to support the habit.
